There are things the Democrats could do to boost their favorability around the margins, but the poor polling says more about Americans than it does about the Democratic Party. What is says that while Navel Nero’s fiddling away on his cell phone and his minions are about out setting fires, the Americans who aren’t arsonists are either too stupid or too lazy to see what’s happening. That or they’ve decided to blame the Democrats for not conjuring a few hundred fire engines from thin air.

In other words, it’s going to take a complete and utter calamity to get people to pull their heads out of their hindquarters.
